My name is Corinne. I don't want to ever grow up if it means becoming stagnant or boring. My closest friend says I am a 19-year-old gay boy in a 52-year-old straight woman's body, which very well may be true. I love gay culture, support same-sex marriage, am a PRIDE volunteer and embrace diversity. I am currently in transition from married (27 years) to single. My husband told me at Christmas that he wants out. I am getting used to the idea: in January I moved out to my own apt on Capitol Hill in Seattle and I LOVE it here. I recently came to the realization that I was very depressed about our relationship and had no idea how lonely I was. I was more alone married than I am single. I am very into my charming and talented offspring: Sami, 21, & Luke, 19, AND best friend/honorary son Evan, 21 (see #1). I'm partially deaf and interested in Deaf culture & American Sign Language. I am a member of the American Society of Forensic Odontology. I serve on the Seattle-King County Dental Society Forensic Committee and am very happily employed by Neal & Neal Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery as treatment coordinator. The best job ever!I'm crazy for theatre and admit to being a RENThead; I've rushed the show 6 times in 4 states! I'm a mama to drama kids and I have loved my career as a stage mother (NOT like Rose in Gypsey, but a "Good Witch" like Glinda) Between my 3 actors? I have seen HUNDREDS of productions. No greater happiness than watching them on stage., not My Love List? God, Dick's Deluxe Cheeseburgers, Writing, Cruzan Vanilla Rum, Lyrics, Words, Spontaneous "Field Trips", Liddle Kiddles, my tattoo, belting "Since U Been Gone" in the van, karaoke, doing weird things so I can say I did them, making patients laugh, Newport & Laguna Beaches, Hell On Heels & Timberline Nights 2005, portraiture with my fave '83 Minolta SLR, college, B'way (WA & NY).My Hate List? My EXmother-in-law, George W. Bush, stupid cliches, coefficients, bigots, and lima beans.My Pets? Rufus Wainwrat (yes, a rat who thinks he is a dog, does tricks, and comes when he is called) and the somewhat shy (ie, NOT the attention whore Rufus is) fish named Darth Betta. I'd love to hear from you! TAWONDA!
